ErmInIe. Last Evening.

The opera "Erminie' was heard in
Wheeling for the first time last evening,
w. T. Carleton's superb company playing
it at the Opera House to large and fash
ionable audience. The opera, which has
made such success in the East, owes its
to the bright and catchy
music and sprightly libretto. Many peo-
pie were even more pleased with it
than with ''Nanon." The company, which
is the most evenly balanced and general
all around good company appearing here
for some time. was at home in "Erminie, "
and the way they sung it, was, to say the
least, delightful, the principal roles being
rendered to perfection. Wheeling will be
glad to welcome Mr.. Carleton and his COM
pany back.

Nallip Free.

Judging from the newspaper criticisms
and reports in general, the Nellie Free
Comedy and Dramatic Company eclipses
anything recently seen of the kind at the
Grand. All the cities in which this organ
ization has appeared this season, are
enthusiastic in their praise of the com
pany.
The Decatur Oil. Republican, speaking
of Son the Sahara" one OF Miss Frees
most prominent plays, says: "The comedy
sparkles with lively dialogues, original
ideas, thrilling situations, and new stage
effects, and abounds with catching music.
The piece made ten-strike last night,
and kept the audience in roar until the
close. Go early or you will find standing
room only" Their engagement at the
Grand Opera House begins tomorrow
evening, and continues until Saturday
evening aud matinee Saturday afternoon.

A ParlOr Match.

Evans and HOey cod Hoss and Me-
will he the attraction at the Opera House,
Monday and Tuesday nights next, in
Chas. Hoyt's laughter provoking comedy,
"a ParlOr Match" which played very
successful engagement here last year. The
Pittsburg Dispatch Of yesterday says:
The largest Monday night audience that
has gathered at the Grand Opera House
this season witnessed the production OF
"A Parlor Match last evening, and the
walls Of the theater fairly rang with the
echo OF mirth, music and laughter. The
play has been transformed and greatly
improved since il was seen here before, aud
is now one of the brightest and most mirth-
provoking of comedies Mr.. Charles E.
Evans, as "McCOrker," the book agent,
and Mr. VIM. Hoey, as cold Hoss," the
partner Of his various schemes, are Capa-
BILE Of creating about as much amusement
as an audience can stand. 1t would be hard
to say which is the better Of the two,
for each is inimitable in his way. Evans
eccentricitics of voice and manner are
about as lndicrous as anything could be;
and as for Hoey, he makes everybody
laugh almost every time he moves. The
role of Captain Kidd, the descendant of the
great pirate, is ably managed by Mr..
David Hart, and that of Ephriam Bello-
mont, the neighbOr of Kidd, could scarcely
be better interpreted than by Mr.. NJ. J.
Sullivan. Miss Minnie French, as limo
cent Kidd, is very lively and winsome,
but her elocution is a trihe amateurish.
The remainder of the cast is very good.
A dozen or more new songs are interpreted
with the play, most of which were well
rendered Hoey made a big hit with his
fagot and clorionet solos in his new song, 81
Remember, l Forget" Altogether the
play was thoroughly enjoyable from be-
ginning TO end.

Tho Market Ordinance.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION RAISED.
The Committee on Markets reported back
the ordinance relating to wagon tongues,
without recommendation. The ordinance
was read first and second time. 1t pro-
vides that all tongues, shafts, poles, and
other like projections, shall be removed
from vehicles standing at any market
house or in the contiguous streets. Mr..
Caldwell moved to recommit, and this,
after little debate, was agreed tO-ayes
10, noes 3. During the talk, it came out
that there had never been quorum of the
Market committee. Mr.. Maxwell raised
the question of whether or not quorum
was necessary for the transaction of COM
lnittee business, and was informed that
it was. He then wanted to know, if that
was a fact, how the Market committee re-
port got into the house, when member Of
the committee had acknowledged the COM
mittee had never met.
The Chair took the nigh ground that
this information had not come officially or
definitely, and said: 1--WE can hardly go
behind the returns"
1--WE will 20 behind them some day, all
the same" said Mr.. Maxwell.
